Buddy Matthews seemingly breaks silence amid rampant rumors of his AEW exit and WWE reaching out to him for a return

Buddy Matthews (fka Buddy Muphy in WWE) has seemingly called out the rumors surrounding his apparent exit from AEW.

The House of Black member recently announced that he would be stepping away from pro wrestling for a while. At Fight Life Pro Wrestling, Buddy cut an emphatic promo where he stated that this was a temporary duration of absence and that he would be back soon.

This came as a shock to many fans, who were already unsettled by Malakai Black's hiatus. With another member now announcing his temporary leave, the stable would only have Brody King and Julia Hart in its ranks.

Further, reports of him being reached out by WWE also surfaced. This led to fans speculating whether Buddy was completely done with AEW and whether he would be returning to Triple H's roster.

The rumors have apparently become too much for the star to keep quiet about, as he took to Twitter to seemingly call out the speculation about his future with a short GIF.

As of now, it seems the rumors of Buddy leaving the company have been put to rest. Only time will tell what lies ahead for the House of Black member in the foreseeable future.
